made of the gift, and that tho e in author
ity would prefer that the matter should
not be mentioned. This is the construc-
ton given the enquiry by the majority OF
readers, and it is severely unjust insin-
ustion against the managers of the con-
cert. These gentlemen, we are COM
fortably certain, can account for and ex-
plain ell that is necessary to quiet the

they wiz soon make the necessary publ
cations, Our people are not to be blamed
for wanting to know wnere the prizes

why some we're delivered and others not.
The management should not be ceDsured,
even by implication or suggestion, until
it has an opportunity of explaining. The
distinguished citizens who were promi-
nently connected with the patriotic IN
dertaking can answer fully, we believe,
the questionings of all interested parties,
aud they owe it to themselves and the
state that this should be done at once.

Governor Ross Proclamation.
Austin Statesman

The proclamation of the executive at
this moment, when outlaws and outlawry
seem in a fair way to overrun the stase,
is most opportune. 1t is Just such q
document IS the law abiding people 81
Texas expected and desired that tkgir
Governor should put forth at this buhcG
ure. .SsgSse,. 2
1t is document characteristic of Gov
ernor Ross. In it the outlaws, thetrain.
robbers, red-hsnded villains who con
spire to rob and to murder are dis
tinctly warned to stand from under
or take the consequences. There is
to be no fooliDg; no halfway
business. In his announcement to the
sheriff, Governor Ross evidently means to
put the whole civil machinery of the state
in motion, by which the criminals Who
have brought disgrace on the state and
fear on its people are to be ground TO
powder. But, in thus throwing himself
and the influence of his office in the
breach against the villains and criminals
of the state, Governor Ross very peril
nently, and justly, reminds the PEG
pie of every community of theft
duty as good citizens under our form
of government, Of using their personal
influence and individual efforts to put
down crime and outlawry. In truth,
there is as much or more responsibility
resting on the individual citizen for the
prevalence OF crime IN the state than on
the officers elected by the people. If the
individual, as suggested by Governor
Ross, were to set his face against crime
and criminals; make the murderer, the
assassin and the thief OdiOus, instead OF
sympsthtzing with and signing petitions
for their pardon; if the DELHI
crate criminal can be made to
feel that he is absolutely an
outcsst from society in Texas, even if he
escapes justice in the courts, then we
shall hear of less outrages on person and
property. If the people themselves do
no help to put put down the reign of
crime in Texas, Governor Ross himself,
with sll his determination and ability,
need not try. II the sheriffs, peace Off
GERS and good citizens of Texas will obey
Governor Ross injunction-as they
should-villainy in our MIDST will soon
be checked, if not wholly crushed out.

TRAIN ROBBERS.

Texas has received considerable free
advertising of late of a character that is
not pleasant to contemplate. The numer
Gus train robberies that have been per.
petrsted and the comparative immunity
enjoyed by these highwaymen has given
currency to the belief that depredations
OF this character are considered legiti.
mate enterprises, or ct least winked al
by the people of Texas. Those who
know Of the Empire State only through
the medium of yellow-backed novels and
lur:d sensations, half real, or wholly
fabricated, are willing 10 believe any
thing they hear about the state,
and the incipIen: or would-be
Robin Hoods who have their jeal-
ousy excited by the success of Texas
men will flock here to try their
fortunes in what they deem more promis-
ing fields. There are hundreds of men
in the populouS states of the east who
are content with robbing street CARS,
children on their wey TO market, or the
kitchens and store houses of their neigh
oors, who will read with delight of the
new Eldorado in the Lone Star State,
where four or five men can accumulate
thousands by simply demanding it ct the
point of pistol. In the broad expansive
ness OF Texas there is no need for sneak
ing or p;lfering, and there are no patrol
men and detectives to watch and Illustrate
the plans of maursders. A man can live
